Laxative products can really cause black intestines!

In modern life, due to irregular work and rest, unhealthy diet and other problems, many people have various health problems such as poor sleep, dark complexion, hair loss, obesity, anxiety, and indigestion

Long-term oral laxatives

Is the main reason for melanosis of the large intestine

Recently the media reported such a case

In fact, the phenomenon of melanosis of the large intestine was discovered by scientists as early as 1835

Taking anthraquinone laxatives

The colon will become black in as little as 1 month

Anthraquinone substances have a strong stimulus to the intestines, so the "laxative" effect is really good, and they are cheap and easy to buy.

The epithelial cells of the intestinal wall cannot withstand the toss, and a large number of "dead", macrophages rush over to "collect the corpses", they engulf and digest the dead cells, and finally produce "lipofuscin" and other pigments

These pigments first form mottling on the intestinal wall.

The melanosis of the large intestine caused by anthraquinone is reversible

In addition, clinical studies have shown that melanosis of the large intestine can significantly increase the risk of intestinal polyps and intestinal cancer
